Er, why is catholicism anti-champagne? Or is it just pro-guilt?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

just pro-guilt.
It's weird, right?
I have worked really hard to get to this size and yet when I look in the mirror I don't look different. Yet I know I am different looking. I can do a one-armed handstand and I have relearned how to do a backhandspring and every month or so when I slip one more size, I know I'm smaller. But it doesn't connect to what I see in the mirror.
sometimes I think I'm an eating disorder that lacks self-control or willpower.

Considering that champagne was invented by a Catholic monk (thank you, Dom Perignon!), I'm guessing it's the guilt. Although at all the Irish Catholic weddings I remember attending in my family, the sparkly drink of choice was Asti Spumante. I didn't try champagne until after college, when I fell in love with the stuff one NYE.

That is one hell of an accomplishment, Kat! Congratulations and enjoy whatever you can allow yourself to.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Wow. I haven't seen you in person in a long time Kat, and well, wow. I know your (general) eyes don't always register what is really there, but you *are* smaller than the last time I saw you. You look really good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You've done fantastic work, and I've been blown away by your willpower again and again (even if I haven't commented often enough)! So whatever demon that is talking, it not only needs to stop beating you up Right The Hell Now, it's also just plain wrong.

Thanks Aimee and amych. I know. Body image stuff is of the very most boring. So I'll shut up now and instead think of how great it is to have survived another trip around the sun. Which is true and to think of next years big 35th plans which include a passport, geysers and whales....all good things.

I can do a one-armed handstand and I have relearned how to do a backhandspring
You know, the backhandspring looks so filled with joy, it just makes me smile.
(Happy birthday, by the way!)

Pfft. Not boring -- just hurting you when you don't deserve to be hurt. So enough of that and back to happy birthday!
